I liked raganwald's post, agreed with it, and think that he's generally a very bright and interesting guy, but I still flagged the article since I thought it wasn't really hacker news. pg can just up and kill stuff though, and doing more of that would set the tenor of the site.

So, that makes two flags, it's still there. Similar sentiment on the flag by the way, it's a good thing he did but I feel it does not belong here.
I've been wondering for a while now if this flagging is useful or not, it doesn't seem to have too much effect, if any.
If I recall correctly, pg made an addition that if a submission has over X points, it won't be auto-killed by flagging.
Correct, but that means that an editor will look at it (as happened, see above) and has to decide whether to give the article a pass or not.
I wasn't referring to the 'auto kills', but to the editor kills.
I wanted to flag it for the same reason, but there wasn't a 'flag' link anymore...
